Fall Out Boy Launch a Fiery Re-Interpretation of MJ With the Help of John Mayer

After all of the re-recordings accompanying Michael Jackson's 25th anniversary of his landmark album Thriller, leave it to Fall Out Boy to come up with the only re-working that will sear itself into your memory. The secret? Passion. "Beat It" is a live staple for the band, and this new single comes the week of release of their Live in Phoenix album. Oh...and John Mayer proves Eddie Van Halen isn't the only one who knows how to create the perfect guitar solo for the landmark song. Check out the single below.
